Porn rampant on video app, but Twitter fights back

Last week, Twitter introduced Vine, a mobile service that allows Twitter users to capture and share short looping videos of up to 6 seconds.

Since the launch, Vine has been plagued with porn. But Twitter is now blocking many searches for pornographic terms, reports The Verve:

Trying to search for the #porn hashtag (and other terms such as #sex and #booty) brings up no results at this time. However, there are still numerous workarounds — #pornvine is still allowed, for example, as is #nsfw.
